Amazon to make gig workers into Whole Foods employees
Amazon has announced they will be moving away from gig work for their grocery delivery service to regular employment. Current Amazon gig workers who deliver grocery goods will become Whole Foods workers with longer shifts and a regular delivery schedule. Amazon said this transition will happen slowly and all shoppers will become Whole Foods employees by the end of the year. Some gig workers are unhappy with this change due to its lack of flexibility.
